Faith leaders, indigenous elders, and people of faith in unprecedented numbers participated in the People's Climate March on September 21. 2014. Demonstrating a powerful show of solidarity and unity across faith traditions, leaders of faith and moral courage rode through Manhattan on a massive float meant to represent Noah's Ark. Faith-based organization partners that contributed to the ark’s build included: Auburn Theological Seminary, World Council of Churches, GreenFaith, Sojourners, Catholics United, Judson Memorial Church, Middle Collegiate Church and Faith in New York.

Auburn has just launched the Auburn Senior Fellows program, our nation’s first multifaith leadership program for justice, uniting, and equipping top leaders of faith and moral courage from many backgrounds and faith traditions to build movements together: from a moral economy to racial equality, LGBTQ and gender rights, climate change to immigration reform and more.

Auburn is a center for leadership development that identifies and strengthens today’s greatest leaders of faith and moral courage. We invite you to watch and learn how we advance the multifaith movement for justice.

The Rev. Dr. William Barber II, the spiritual leader of Moral Mondays and North Carolina's Forward Together movement, came to New York City to teach at a public lecture for 200 people gathered at Judson Memorial Church on September 30, 2014. The next day on October 1, Rev. Dr. Barber gathered at Auburn with local prophets, faith-rooted organizers and clergy to share insight about the burgeoning Moral Monday movement as it might inspire justice work in New York. Auburn hosted the week's activities with the Rev. Dr. William Barber II as part of its mission to equip leaders of faith and moral courage for the multifaith movement for justice.

The Table to Action Project was developed at Auburn Seminary in deep partnership with leaders on the ground in Chicago, who believe, with us, that it is time to press past transactional and competitive ways of working together in order to foster multi-issue organizing that allows us to stand with and for each other in honesty, compassion and love.
